Jake has what might best be described as an Orioles “problem.” No matter how poorly the team treated him during the long losing streak, he just kept coming back for more. As the show’s optimist, he constantly looks for the silver lining in any terrible outcome. Whereas he acknowledges the value of advanced metrics, he thinks the pendulum has swung completely too far, and likes to balance statistical analysis with what he can see with his own two eyes. Be warned: there is no length to which he won’t go for a pun. Such men can be dangerous. Away from the podcast, Jake lives in Harford County with his beautiful (not to mention, tolerant) wife and two amazing kids. Some day, he’d like to build a boat. He loves reading, the Beatles, and he excels at pretending he’s not a grown up.
